Advice on inaccurate negative review
A customer emailed us stating that she thought she got food poisoning from our food and after a kind and productive back and forth conversation, she realized it was probably her food sensitivities acting up and not food poisoning from us. However, see has already left a poor review on yelp stating that she thinks she got food poisoned by us and has not updated it after we conversed. What should my next steps be? I really don't want potential customers to see her negative review saying, "the food was delicious, but food poisoned me" and have that negatively impact our business.
Since she stated it was probably her food sensitivities acting up and not food poisoning, I don't feel that her review is accurate or honestly reflects our business... Let me also be clear that she did not notify us of any of her sensitivities when we prepared her food, so there was nothing that our business did to cause her issues.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Is it appropriate to ask her to change her review now that it's clear the issue isn't food poisoning? What if she doesn't change her review? Could I ask yelp to remove her review if I provide the email evidence that she clearly states it's isn't food poisoning and it is instead her food sensitivities?
Am I just going to have to accept that we have a negative review? (We had only 5 star reviews until this, but not very many reviews total, so I'm really not thrilled about this).
